FINESSE by Ashlyn

LIFE UPDATEHi!! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on this page but I’ve missed the makeup community and I’ve been itching to get back on this page and create more makeup looks. . This past year has been hard for makeup artists like me. 95% of my bookings got cancelled or postponed until WAY down the road. I stopped wearing makeup as much because, well, hello masks and overall just felt uninspired to create new looks. . On a positive note, I created and launched my very ...own lash brand called FINESSE lashes @shopfinesselashes !!! This has been an exciting eCommerce venture for me since I’ve always heard clients’ struggle with applying traditional strip lashes on their own. . My lash brand has a collection of 6 Magnetic Lashes & Liner sets that make applying lashes easy and convenient. In this photo I’m wearing the style WOAH. Checkout the site if you want: www.finesselashes.com . I also got to spend much more time with my family and friends... and gained a ton of personal development and wellness habits (like reading every day, exercising and eating well). . I’m graduated now, but during my undergrad at Western I was heavily involved with CAISA Fashion Show which is one of Canada’s largest student-run charity events. Over the last couple of weeks I hosted some virtual makeup masterclasses for the current models in the team (the best excuse to get back into talking about makeup, and glamming myself up (like so)). It’s sparked my passion for makeup and sharing skills/tips&tricks with people again! . Although I don’t think makeup is necessary, it is magical the way it can transform someone’s mood, self-confidence, and attitude. These quarantine days, putting a lil makeup on has made me way more productive than on days I don’t wear any. Maybe it’s the routine or just how I feel about myself but it has worked well for me. Stay tuned for some upcoming lives and posts on what that routine looks like and how makeup can be simple and easy for you too! - Ashlyn . . #quarantinemakeup #lockdownlife #lifeupdate #makeupartistlife #finesselashes

I always do my best to create a look that my client loves! This beautiful bridesmaid requested a matte eyeshadow, natural barely-there highlight and bold brows. I love how the warm tones really bring out her blue eyes!

Absolutely stunning bride! Got to make a quick trip over to London to glam her and her bridal party. Love how this rose gold look turned out! We used the @arbonne Cherry Blossom collection lipstick in Flush on her lips & the rose gold liquid liner on her lid. Congrats on her wedding day!

A bronze, sultry eye for this lovely bridesmaid! Using a dark shimmery colour adds so much dimension to the eyes. I also always recommend wearing false lashes for special events! They really open up the eyes and look great in photos.

NO FILTER or editing done on these eye makeup shots!! (Grateful for my skincare routine tbh) Obsessed with the @arbonne Cherry Blossom eyeshadow palette!! Such a versatile range of colours for fall makeup looks. PLUS all their makeup is completely VEGAN, CRUELTY-FREE, non-toxic! They ban over 2,000 harmful or unsustainable chemicals and ingredients. Lashes are @shopfinesselashes magnetic lashes in the style So Extra.
